The Jeep is now in the teardown phase. Thanks to PB Blaster, I'm making some progress. That reminds me, I need to buy another can. Once I get the tub off, I'm going drop off the frame at a local shop and have it completely sandblasted. When it comes back, I'll then begin work on the areas of the frame that need metal replacement. As for the tub, other than the driver's side floor and the corners where the roll bar mounted to, it is in pretty solid condition.

I've located the basic parts for the new driveline. I found a 727 out of a '86 Ramcharger 4x4. I also found front and rear Dana 44 axles out of a 1986 Jeep Wagoneer.
Folks, it's gotta get ugly before it gets beautiful...
